## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 20 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 1.189.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest identifies a Claude Code statusline tool, has no install-time hook, and routes use through its CLI. The flagged process and inspector behavior serves the described integration; the inspected source did not establish concealed exfiltration or other attack behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T18:02:51.685Z

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified; the package provides a Claude Code statusline CLI and an explicitly installed attach mode.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs when invoked; attach setup is exposed through the explicit \`cc-candybar install\` command.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized collection, unrelated account action, or concealed harmful behavior was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T18:03:26.680Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI launches local tools and can use Bun’s inspector to apply breakpoint actions in Claude Code when attach mode is installed.

- **Rationale:** The manifest identifies a Claude Code statusline tool, has no install-time hook, and routes use through its CLI. The flagged process and inspector behavior serves the described integration; the inspected source did not establish concealed exfiltration or other attack behavior.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, raw.githubusercontent.com/promptctl/cc-candybar

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 83.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes the package as a Claude Code statusline renderer and exposes a CLI entry point., The CLI entry point dynamically imports the bundle; the manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The attach helper describes starting the shipped Claude binary under Bun and applying configured breakpoint seams; the bundle presents setup as an explicit \`cc-candybar install\` command.

- **Evidence against:** The package uses child processes and network requests for its CLI features, including release and pricing lookups., The attach helper uses Bun’s inspector to evaluate breakpoint actions in Claude Code, a powerful capability when the user opts into that mode.

## Affected versions and remediation
